Enjoy this private recording of the Marriage Reflection

Materials for the Weekend

 
A Note About the Questionnaire

Below you will find a questionnaire that complements the mediation. Please use it as an opportunity to reflect on your relationship and your marriage. Find a quiet corner to discuss with your spouse how the topic relates to and impacts you as a couple. Please take advantage of these moments of conversation dedicated to each other. We hope that you will resist the temptation to say “We’ll talk about this later”…  Talk about it now!
